Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Which program triggers the problem? Specify the filename if possible.
Microsoft Excel 2003

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open an existing spreadsheet
2. Text will be un-rendered
3. Double clicking a cell to edit, causes the text to be rendered by GDIPP
4. Result: a mish-mash of rendered and unrendered text

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
All text on the spreadsheet should be consistently rendered by GDIPP

What version of gdipp (including renderer)? On which operating system?
0.9.1
problem occurs in 0.7.6 too

Please provide any additional information below. Screenshots always help.

Do you have embedded images in this sheet? If yes, then this is a known 
limitation. See the last bullet in 
http://code.google.com/p/gdipp/wiki/KnownIssues. If no, could you please upload 
the problematic .xls file? You can remove all the confidential information, as 
long as you can reproduce the problem stably. Thanks.

No embedded images.
This behaviour occurs in all Excel files I open and in new spreadsheets i.e. it 
can be reproduced using any Excel spreadsheet. It's more noticeable when 
opening an existing spreadsheet, because when you initially open it, the text 
is un-rendered, and then as you start working on it, the cells become rendered 
once you edit them.

Can you reproduce this in Excel 2007?

The same happens in Excel 2007. Edit the text inside a cell and when done, the 
cell will be rendered without smoothing. Or drag a cell from one place to 
another and when dropped you'll notice is not smooth.
One more thing, When you edit a cell, the cursor position is based on the 
original font width, so on long texts the cursor position is incorrect (check 
cell A3)

I just wanted to confirm this behaviour for Excel 2010 also (64-bit Win7/0.91).
 Not a complaint, however, as this is a great project and in most apps achieves beautiful rendering.

I have same issue with Excel 2007.  As I work with Excel frequently, I had to 
exclude excel.exe in settings.xml to disable rendering.

Similar issue with cursor being based on wrong font-width is also seen on 
Outlook 2003.
